Hi folks,
my basedir setting doesnt seem to work.
I have the same project I check out to two different locations.
in the second project the basedir setting doesnt seem to work.
Here's what I do:
<!-- <project name="ClientKapselTest" default="targets" basedir="./"> also
tried that -->
<project name="ClientKapselTest" default="targets" >
<!-- ==================== Initialization properties =====================
-->
<echo message="*** what's considered basedir before setting it: ${basedir}"
/>
<property name="basedir" value="."/>
<echo message="*** what's considered basedir after setting it: ${basedir}"
/>
</project>
The result is always:
[echo] *** what's considered basedir before setting it: M:\path\to\A
[echo] *** what's considered basedir after setting it: M:\path\to\A
even though I execute the ant-skript in M:\path\to\B
I thought basedir is always the path where the build.xml itself resides?
